Channel Initiator Metrics

Created: 07 Mar 2022 | Updated: 24 Feb 2023

z/IRIS streams MQ Channel Initiator manager metrics using data from IBM's SMF type 115, subtype 1 records. Each Channel Initiator Manager measurement is structured according to a schema that can be found in this document.

The Channel Initiator Manager measurements depict channel availability and usage and are grouped by MQ Queue Manager. Alternative grouping is possible using host name (z/OS LPAR name) or RMID.

Measurements

Measurements are prefixed. These prefixes can be changed via the z/IRIS IronTap server or container configuration.
